Hi,
I've created a class which derives from RingElement and a class which derives from Ring, and made the latter the parent of the former. I have then placed the "elements" of this new ring I've constructed as entries into a matrix.
Given another such matrix with the same dimensions as the first, I have constructed its entries to be the same as the entries of the first matrix. The same means that when we compare entry (i,j) in the first matrix to entry (i,j) in the second, they are equal.
Why do the matrices not compare as equal? Is there anything you see in this error which could help me easily remedy this?
Here is the error I get:
